... to see what the clutch plates look like with a few k's of miles on them. Dry or wet? Doesn't look like the engine got much attention but I wonder if they've improved the oiling in there to fix some of the dry clutch issues that have popped up.
What dry clutch issues?
And it almost assuredly will have to be some other GenIII owner revealing clutch plates after a few thousand miles, it won't be me. I am not opening up any engine system unless there is something wrong (and even then, DVP will likely be opening it up under warranty.)
Over 100,000 miles on the Gen I bike, the clutch/transmission system were never opened or touch. Ever. I anticipate this bike to be the same in this regard. Over the years, as motorcycle powertrains have become more sophisticated and electronic, I have found that for my needs, it's best just to leave them alone.
Though I realize others have a different perspective on these things... I'll leave it to those guys to play around with Power Commanders, aftermarket exhaust systems, etc, etc.
